Bavaria and Deutsche Bahn Sign Deal to Electrify EbersbergWasserburg Line and Extend S‑Bahn Service to Wasserburg

Progress follows a 2025 wildlife survey that cleared earlier lapwing concerns.

Overview

  • The agreement advances electrification of the EbersbergWasserburg corridor to integrate Wasserburg am Inn into the Munich S‑Bahn network.
  • Bavaria commits about €7 million toward electrification, with the federal government covering the remaining costs.
  • Current diesel operations requiring a change at Ebersberg would give way to quieter, faster electric trains, the state transport minister said.
  • Plans include a new Ebersberg Süd stop and selective double‑tracking between Grafing Bahnhof–Grafing Stadt and Ebersberg Süd–Ebersberg.
  • Electrification is targeted to be completed by the end of the decade under the current schedule, with further infrastructure upgrades to follow.
